This is a wonderful product initially. It's easy to use and the cork just slides out effortlessly. However, the screw that it uses soon wears out. This can happen in as little as 3 to 6 months or so depending on how much wine you drink. I assume that the teflon coating wears off or the tip dulls. In any event, it then becomes increasingly difficult to use until it starts pushing the cork in the bottle. They throw in one extra screw, but additional ones are outrageously priced--$10 on Amazon. Nice margin for the manufacturer. There were at one time Chinese knock-offs in the marketplace that had the same characteristics, but at least they were cheap, $10 or 15 if I remember correctly. This product costs a lot of money for its short lifespan.

Wow! I've hated wine bottle openers for as long as I can remember - first, it seems like they always need lots of arm strength for the tugging of the cork, and second, the cork sometimes shreds and bits of cork fall into the wine - gross. The Rabbit makes the whole experience almost..enjoyable! Clamp, twist, pop, there goes the cork! Love it! Don't need excessive arm muscle either ;)

We had a similar product from a large wholesaler that lasted for several years but finally broke. We replaced it with this and are very pleased. It's really simple to use and opens bottles easily. The grip is easy on your hands too. Recommended.
